The art of Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008) is usually viewed as
quite distinct from Surrealism, a movement which the artist himself
displayed some hostility towards. However, Rauschenberg had a very
positive reception among Surrealists, particularly across the
period 1959-69. In the face of Rauschenberg’s avowals of his own
‘literalism’ and insistence on his art as ‘facts,’ this
book gathers generous evidence of the poetic, metaphorical,
allusive, associative and connotative dimensions of the artist's
oeuvre as identified by Surrealists, and thus extrapolates new
readings from Rauschenberg's key works on that basis. By viewing
Rauschenberg’s art against the expansion of the cultural
influence of the United States in Europe in the period after the
Second World War and the increasingly politicized activities of the
Surrealists in the era of the Algerian War of Independence
(1954-62), Robert Rauschenberg and Surrealism shows how poetic
inference of the artist’s work was turned towards political
interpretation. By analysing Rauschenberg’s art in the context of
Surrealism, and drawing from it new interpretations and
perspectives, this volume simultaneously situates the Surrealist
movement in 1960s American art criticism and history.
